I made just a few more minor tweaks than John suggested, ending up with:
<book rdf:about="book_0805033106"
xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'
xmlns="http://peanuts.foo/"
xml:base="http://peanuts.foo/"
>
<isbn>0805033106</isbn>
<title>Peanuts Every Sunday </title>
<author rdf:resource="author_Charles-M.-Schulz"/>
<character rdf:resource="character_Sally-Brown"/>
<character rdf:resource="character_Snoopy"/>
<character rdf:resource="character_Linus"/>
<character rdf:resource="character_Lucy"/>
</book>
Still a lot shorter and readable than Eric's original example.
4RDF produces the following triples:
("http://peanuts.foo/book_0805033106", "<rdf:type>",
"http://peanuts.foo/book"),("http://peanuts.foo/book_0805033106",
"http://peanuts.foo/isbn", "0805033106"),("http://peanuts.foo/book_0805033106",
"http://peanuts.foo/title", "Peanuts Every Sunday "),
("http://peanuts.foo/book_0805033106", "http://peanuts.foo/author",
"http://peanuts.foo/author_Charles-M.-Schulz"),
("http://peanuts.foo/book_0805033106", "http://peanuts.foo/character",
"http://peanuts.foo/character_Sally-Brown"),
("http://peanuts.foo/book_0805033106", "http://peanuts.foo/character",
"http://peanuts.foo/character_Snoopy"),
("http://peanuts.foo/book_0805033106", "http://peanuts.foo/character",
"http://peanuts.foo/character_Linus"),
("http://peanuts.foo/book_0805033106", "http://peanuts.foo/character",
"http://peanuts.foo/character_Lucy"),
This looks like just the sort of thing I put to good use with RDF all the
time, so my question back to you is: what *can't* an RDF processor usefully
do with such a document?
I don't see anything about the document that restricts the possibilities.
